The UI is already there, we just have to change default proposal to mbr. We
don't want to bring yet another loader (extlinux) to mess up maintenance work
and we can't simply disable or remove that option from yast installer also
because any feature change should go through FATE process to evaluate impact
and I believe some people or running setup would still stay to prefer it.

Thanks.
